It consists of 53 lines, and is and generally treated as an elegy or woman's song, which shows a woman's grief about a lost of absent lover, although there are numerous different interpretations and disagreements regarding the genre and theme.
If we take a look at the poem, we can see that the cause of the wife's exile are her husband's kinsmen:
<em>They insinuated, the kinsmen of that man,</em>
<em>by secret thought, to separate us two</em>
<em>so that we two, widest apart in the worldly realm,</em>
<em>should live most hatefully—and it harrowed me. </em>
<em />
<em>My lord ordered me to take this grove</em>
<em>for a home — very few dear to me</em>
<em>in this land, almost no loyal friends.</em>
